I know it has been mentioned here before but i just gt the whole "stout is the dregs from regular beer" comment at the bar.

People are probably misunderstanding how partigyle brewing works. In olden times it was standard practice and it produced multiple batches of varying gravity from the same mash. Still stupid to go spouting off as if they know the facts, but that's probably where they get the idea.
When discussing Stouts:
"Yeah I really like Guinness DRAWT (Draught, pronounced draft as you all know), but I'm not a big fan of the whole DRAWT style of beer."
Me trying to explain how draught is pronounced draft, and is called such because of the widget and how it is supposed to be like a pulled pint.
"No, drawts are like stouts, they just use different hops."
Me: Oh ok, I was wrong.

I have heard this about Bock but not Stout. I wonder how this idea ever came to be? It is basically saying "All beer is made from the same ingredients it's just a matter of where you pour the beer from in the barrel."

Am I wrong to think that the only real difference in partigyle brews is the ABV and "heaviness" of the beer?
It's the process. The first "heavy" runnings have highly concentrated sugars and make a stronger alcohol beer. The second runnings make a low ABV beer.
this is the wrong place for this, but it's just funny. I'm sitting in a manhattan bar drinking when 4 dudescome in and order 2 magners, a hiney and a bud light. The Bud lightgiys a juicer and shoulda been on Jersey Shore. So they're drinkin and then order a roundof flavored vodka shots. They throw em down and as soon as the juicer puts hisshot glass down grabs his bud light and takes a huge swig, puts it down and proclaims......." THAT's how you start a holiday weekend". I couldn't help to think that chasers are for clowns and bud lights for clowns that have day jobs at McDonalds, so to me it's just funny. And it's not a " I brew my own beer so I'm superior" thing, more of a funny pub observation that I didn't know where else to put
The German wife of the neighbor down the street. "$*#@ yes! I finally found some real beer in the country! I hate that piss in a can!"
I was at a bar a week or two ago with my friend who is also a homebrewer.
My friend to the bartender: "Do you have any dark beers?"
bartender: *she starts naming almost every beer they have (mostly light lagers)*
My friend interrupts her: "None of those are dark. Do you have anything dark?"
bartender: "We have Sam Adams." (referring to the Boston Lager)
Me: "That's not a dark beer."
bartender: "It's dark to me."
meh, this is your friend being a snob.
you think every 22 year old waitress knows everything about beer?
when i go somewhere, unless its a place that is distinctly a beer bar, i just ask for a list.
Yep every German I've seen subjected to our BMC beers says the same thing "this is like piss water" seriously I've heard this basic insult at least a dozen times over the years.
So far the only German other than me (well I'm half) to try my brews (a stout) said that it was a lot thicker and heavier than he liked, and I should work on making a good Export instead. Not really ready to try lagers.
I'm with the hearty portion of meat on this one. As a bartender, it's your JOB to at least know something about what you're serving. It's like going into a restaurant, and asking the waiter what's good on the menu, and getting a response of "I dunno, all I eat is burgers and fries." I'm not saying you need to be a beer sommelier, or be a graduate from the UC Davis Brew School, but you should at LEAST be able to tell the difference between a dark beer and a light one.Yes and no. The bartender could've asked what she meant by "dark" if she wasn't sure; the friend could've clarified a bit more since dark doesn't necessarily equate with black in some peoples' minds.
Bud's a MUCH different animal in Europe than it is here. It actually tastes like lager, as opposed to the American version which tastes like, erm, nothing.Funny, I know several Germans who love Budweiser.
